Description
Shaoth (SHAY oth) Small aquatic fish, Neutral. Singly, these bold four-jawed eels are capable of inflicting a nasty bite with their razor sharp teeth. Their habit of swarming together in great numbers make them a deadly nightmare of squirmy carnage. Many unfortunate swimmers per tagh fall victim to shaoth swarms. Pools littered with the bones of the eel’s victims are a sure telltale sign of its presence.
“The Sathoy splashes happily in the swamp, then abruptly begins to utter cries of alarm as masses of writhing green-black eels begin frenetically feeding on its armored flesh…”
Disposition: Predatory.
Habitat/Frequency: Marshlands, swamps, streams or rivers. Uncommon.
Society: Solitary or Schools of 4-40+
Length: up to 18"

It's like a nastier version of the Terrestrial piranha...

Yes! I took inspiration from several terran critters, including the snakehead...

In the final art ,the side teeth look similar to fingers, alsmost as if they can grab you. I think that`s what makes it scarier.

Nice. I have a soft spot for four-jawed critters. I also like the way you combined a fairly realistic fish body with the more fantastic head. The back reminds me of a bichir or an arowana

Thanks! Arowanas and snakeheads were on my mind as I developed the design of this critter.
